WIP Character Sneak Peek: Lena Makarov 
8/15/22 

Here's the initial design for a character I've been working on. I was going for gloomy introvert, a look I think the anime style pulls off pretty well. Not sure if I'm satisfied with it yet... but I'm not not satisfied with it either. 

I wasn't originally intending to expand the cast much from what I already had planned, but I realized Lena would likely end up playing a bigger role than I initially expected. 

 Bit of background info for those interested in that kind of thing:

• Lena is the daughter Sergei Makarov, a Russian coroner/medical examiner.
• In lieu of a normal upbringing, she spent much of her childhood around cadavers while learning her father's trade.
• Her Sage (mages of global skill/renown like the Dragon and the Warden) title is something appropriately macabre like the Reaper or the Grim or something. Still undecided on that one. You can probably guess what her specialty is.
• Despite her background, her title/specialty, and her emotionally detached upbringing, she's not necessarily evil. Though you could say her practices are frowned upon in modern society.
• Her past is entwined with one of the heroines, though I won't spoil who.

It's been a bit of a slow week, so not much to report. I got sick for a few days and then took on the project of clearing out my parent's basement of two decades of junk a certain someone has been hoarding, so I haven't had as much time as I'd have liked to work on the game. Barring any catastrophic and unforeseen meteor showers, I should free to go back to working on it for awhile, so I'm hoping I'll be able to make some good progress. 

I decided at some point one of the minor characters in the story was going to need to play a larger role, so I've been working on a model for her when I get the chance. I'm hoping she'll turn out as cool as I imagine her, but we'll see. I'll probably post some screens of her when I'm satisfied with her design.
